¶ Radio Commercials and the My Pillow Guy
Welcome to Andy's Modi . Hi everybody , hope you had a good week . Since the last episode , we are in the studio still with Periel and Taylor . Williamson , which I enjoyed so much . In our last episode , we're keeping him from a part two of Taylor Williamson , and now he's wearing his San Diego Naval Base hat .
Well , I thought we're like out changing outfits . I don't know that it's the same .
I changed underwear . That's what you wear . That's what you wear . That's what you wear . That's what you wear .
Can I tell you this is like Johnny Carson , like saying , get over here on the couch . I was already on the couch .
You're on the couch . No , this is a high honor .
Have you ever ? Has this ever happened ? Just tell me , it hasn't never happened , never .
It never happened .
You really mean that ? Just say yes , no , no , you're not following the rules .
We had Arthur Luxemburg and he just sitting moved . We just kept taping another episode which ended up being better than the first ones , when people say and we had who else , did we keep ?
Dina , dina . It is reserved for special guests .
You're in very good company .
But it's not . You don't feel bad for me . This is because you're like we really .
I really enjoyed you . I really enjoyed you , no , no no , he'll , we've kicked , we've kicked people out , not because , just because it was done Like we felt it was done , I felt like we have so much more to go with you , so entertaining .
I'm honored you ever do like morning radio and then , like they're like I've had this for like a year ago , some city look , look radio , and then they go um , hey , if they like you , they keep you on for another segment . You know , yes , and then you do one segment and they go .
well , thanks for being here , like I guess I guess I'm not one of the so this is , this is high on Wait you did live more .
You go to the station live video before back in the day . Oh no , before I thought before 1980 , um , we , I used to do that , yeah , Used to go . You show up at the town , uh , a day before , and like eight AM you are with the guys doing the morning traffic and you're sitting there at eight AM and be be be funny . Now it's all recorded , pre-recorded .
Like , we do zooms and like , and you do all that stuff before and no one , no one's listening , even listen . Who the hell is in their car listening to the news at at on their drive to to work ? Anymore , you all , you have Spotify , you have , uh , you have sound cloud .
You have , you can , you can be your own DJ who wants to hear uh , all the are my wrong ?
I think it's from . What I see is I think there's people who hold on to what they've been listening to for years and I can't imagine a new show hitting , but I don't think any of the three of us have any idea what it entails to get in your car in the morning and commute to work .
Oh , you're right . I will say that I do once in a while . See , all I'm in a taxi or an Uber . That's like an old school person and they let that 10 , 10 wins . It's just like AM radio station that just like everybody listen to because they gave you the traffic every 20 minutes or like , and the weather Right .
I never understood that , like my father , is obsessed with the traffic and the weather . Who cares ? Like the weather's wrong 97% of the time ?
And when she moved to Florida , listen to 10 , 10 wins just to hear the traffic and the weather in New York . I'm not , I'm not kidding you my aunt Eileen she passed away , but she used to when she lived here and in Florida . She used to sit there and she had whatever channel that got you the New York stuff and she used to listen to 10 , 10 wins .
And you give us 22 minutes and we'll give you the world . Yeah , can we discuss something ? By the way , we touched on it the other day , charlie , remember . Yes , there are some amazing ads out there . I think I got to start doing Like that should be a thing of mine , doing it To like redo old ads . Yeah , you never hurt yeah .
There are some amazing ones from like , the fifties of like , that are so misogynist , like the woman , like with the vacuum . They're amazing , though , to like read those I'm going to , I'm going to find some for you to . We could reenact that Right Now .
What did we just watch that had real . I have not seen commercials like again . We have streaming , so you don't , you don't have commercials anymore , but we watched something that had the Grammys . We watched the Grammys and had commercials . What the hell People think that people are that dumb .
Yes , well , people , actually people are that dumb I get when you have a celebrity talking about this product and the celebrity you can tell is calling it in Like yes , blah , blah , blah cups , I'll never use anything else . And you could tell the celebrity just picked up a fat million dollar check just to do it .
But like these commercials they people just like just say hey , this is what this does , it's pretty good at it and move on , not this whole song and dance . I was wondering why I was so home so late , because my blah , blah , blah blah was horrible , horrible commercials , no .
Are you an alien ?
Why .
He doesn't know what the world is like . It's adorable People like like they have . Like my pillow , you know my pillow . Oh , I love him .
I love him .
Isn't he an eight man ? I ?
think he's the . He's an insane person that has wow . Can we talk with my pillow guy . What's his name ?
Um , I don't know . You know Eichmann , what's his name ? I don't know Some , whatever .
Yo , he talk about riding a wave of Meshagas , which we discussed before . This guy with his pillows , now he has sheets , then he has slippers , then he has robes and he has everything right and the Jesus cross , and you see the picture behind him it's Jesus with a lion .
Oh , here's Michael James Wendell . Yeah , Michael Wendell the full blown machine .
He was on top of the world before he got into the Trump .
Thing .
He was crushing it , he was super star , he was like an inspirational story . I don't know if he's like a little bruh or what , but he was a crackhead .
No , really , that was the whole stick .
It's like I remember going on a radio show in Minnesota and he was like a local . He was a big deal . We had Michael Wendell's calling in and he's a goofy guy who came from Sad Stuff and started this huge company . And it was goofy commercials you see on TV like whatever , my pillow is okay , whatever .
Then he got into the Trump thing and he rode that thing . But he rode it into the Fox News won't have him on anymore . He's going out of business , is he really ? Yeah , but he's just , he's like a not well .
Yeah , no , no , no , no , I'm reading about him .
He's not well .
Okay , I'm sorry I have . This is not really Mashiach energy , but I actually want your opinion about this . I'm so worked up about this situation . Okay , so first of all , let's start with the fact that I have . Yesterday we did an event for the Rebuilding the Key Boots Team project . We've been rebuilt , collecting toys with Ally Weiss jewelry . We raised $6,000 .
Wow .
Thank you . I don't take the credit for it . I'm just putting this out here as the background facts . We have sent over $30,000 of items to soldiers directly and we have 100 boxes sitting in storage of toys that we are going to bring over to Israel
¶ Online Hate and Misogyny
. In addition to this , I have been making Am Israel Chai Sweat shirts , which are , first of all , a fortune to make . I'm hand-wrapping them and I'm doing it because people love them and to be nice . I got they're $136 , which , as far as I'm concerned , is a fucking bargain .
I got a message on Instagram from somebody I do not know Hi , I sent you a message many days ago and have yet to receive an answer because I deleted the message . How come this costs a all-caps ridiculous amount of money ? Are folks really paying $136 for a sweatshirt ? Where does the money go ?
What did you answer ?
I didn't . I'm doing it .
You answer your mother never loved you . That's all you have to answer . Don't ever give in . Are you crazy ? That gets you worked up . Just beat or just write back your mother never loved you . Just block him . That's it . That's it Block .
This has me so in . Why , why ?
would you say that First of ?
all , I don't owe you an explanation . I could charge $3,000 for a sweatshirt if I want to . Okay , right , just don't buy it .
Okay yeah , just don't buy it . Okay , okay , okay , okay Okay .
Okay , okay , okay , okay . How dare you assume that , like you have the right to like , ask , like you go into , like Costco and say , like , where is the money for these televisions going ? Like , who are you , where is this entitlement coming ?
from Look at how angry she got you . What a shame . It's a guy . It's a guy .
I think it's a guy .
You think it's a guy . What makes you think it's a guy ? Well , I don't want to .
There's a picture of somebody who looks like what used to identify traditionally as male .
So they let's just go they . Let's just go they . Yeah , that's a man .
Well , I mean , maybe Let me see , you never know .
I'll make a picture , look at how good I am .
I make a picture and I blow it up , even more .
No , I mean because you got is a man is wrong with , also like the only .
Thing you can assume gender . I mean , that's the , that's a bald man .
It's a bald man with a gut and glasses .
It's essentially . She saw a picture of Larry David .
She's like I don't know , it's literally . Larry David is a broke .
Larry David is what this is , and you .
I'm asking because I know you probably get and you probably do too Like messages all the time .
There was hateful , awful scummy . It's a terrible .
You just ignore them .
I get I try , not I have to be numb to it because I mean I post a Jewish thing and I get I mean that's a whole nother category of stuff , but like I posted I feel like it's I'm hesitating to the silver dunder , like I imagine this is , you must get this stuff , oh , anyways .
But I posted , like after the October 7th attack , before Israel went into Palestine , I posted I was just like what's the thing I can post ? That is the least problem causing things , because even just posting hashtag Jewish I get hate , you know , right . So I put yeah , like . So I posted sending love to my friends in Israel hearts .
I was like you can't , no one can , because it hurts me when I get , it messes me up when I get like anti-semitism online , like it makes me , breaks my heart and it makes me . It's terrifying , you know . And because I feel bad about the world , like I'm not , my feelings are hurt , but I'm like sad for the world , you know .
And then I have people who write back to me months later , who saw that post on my stories and they don't follow me , right , but every time I post something they go , they're calling me a Nazi , calling me . You get all that stuff , you know .
Yeah .
So I just have to go numb and numb .
Who was ? This is nothing , people . This guy's poor soul . They're a mess . Yeah , I have . We get people looking for cheaper tickets .
There's no to shoot you know what I should write back . What I should write back if you can't afford $136 and you want to sweatshirt , why don't you tell me what you can afford and I'll send ?
you one God forbid you're going to engage this from being into your life .
That felt like machine .
I don't know .
You just inspired me to like , oh God .
A lot of people this is the cliche thing is comedians write back to like trolls . A lot of times they go . Hey man , I was just being silly , I'm a big fan .
He's a sad person who 100% he's a sad person .
He's a sad person who wants attention . Correct , it might not be , this doesn't sound evil . He's probably like a left , a liberal person who's caring about whatever he's a is a well meaning dumb person , you know , so that's a nice Wow .
This is probably misogyny wrapped in there too , though , because he sees your woman doing something and I'm just How'd you get that from ?
Why are you asking me ? You're looking at me .
Why did you see misogyny in there ?
Does men talk to a woman in a way that more likely than they'll talk to a man with a lack of kindness ?
Not even kindness . The opposite .
I talk nicer to a woman because she's a woman .
You're a great guy , though , from what I know , I don't know .
I thought you would be proud of me with that response . That's such machia energy to not respond no to say if you can't afford this , just tell me how .
No , your time is so special and precious between your child and your husband and your career . You're going to now engage him and then he's right back what he can afford , and then you're going to tell him this and that I'll meet you at 30 , meet you at four and send it back . I'm hard .
Let it go . Let it go . I was just trying to be nice .
You write back to all your nice messages . Do you ever skip a nice message ?
I try to always like do .
At least a heart . Thank you , hey , love back at you . I do Listen . My time on Instagram is not going through stuff . I go through my comments , people would they comment on my things and read them and sometimes look at their profile and see a face and a child , their kids and the family . It makes me happy and I'll send a heart .
I'll send love back at you and I mean it . Yeah , I would never deal with that .
For me , I go because I get nasty comments and then , as a comic , I want to out with them and make them feel stupid , because I have that , you know , and me do like feel the heckler , you know but then I'm like you know what Kind of siding with Modi I get .
I get like you know what , if I , if I can't write back to all the nice comments , I'm not going to write back to the one . We all comics , we see the one out of a hundred . That's negative . I want to write back . It is giving your , your loving energy to negativity when it should be focused on love .
But before we began , we never do politics here , but it's , it's getting good . Nikki Haley posted a picture of Donald Trump and Joe Biden in the ad . Like for grumpy old men , which is a movie that was out like many years back with with Walter .
Matt Matt Jack Lemon .
Jack Lemon , walter Mathau , yeah Right , and , and it's pretty , she's like . If Trump is getting laughs and jokes , let me get on this bandwagon . They're picking it up on it and Joe Biden doesn't know what day it is anymore , and poor thing , and Donald Trump is just wow , wow , wow and wow no .
What ? Um ? We had a psychic on the comedy seller podcast and she said that neither Trump nor Biden is going to act or going to run .
Really Run .
Yeah , it's going to be somebody else entirely .
Something this time , this time between now
¶ Jewish Congressman's Presidential Run Discussion
and November .
Have you seen Dean Phillips ? Oh my God , this fascinating dude . He's a congressman from I don't know what state . He's Jewish , he's like 50 something . He's running for president as a Democrat and he was on Bill Marsha if you look it up and you can see like a quick interview with him .
And uh , fascinating , kind , thoughtful guy pro Joe Biden , but he just takes the point of view of we need someone younger . He did his thing . We love Joe . He did a great job , but like he's cons , I vibe with every single thing he says . Like it's fascinating dude .
There should be . There should be age limits on the presidency . I think we can all agree yeah .
Yeah , um , but I encourage you to , I encourage you to like look up his Bill Maher interview and like , just like , if you want to have a five minute sample of who's this Jewish guy who's 50 something .
I don't know what we did with you , not the 50 something , but it's , it's shock , it's shock value , and it's shock value and it's a comedy . You are about to hire somebody to be higher vote for somebody to be president , you're going to be looking at them for four years and they're on your feed , on your news or whatever you get .
You're going to be looking at them and I think , even though his policies are probably better for the world , joe Biden or Trump , you got to interact with this thing .
This thing .
You got to interact with this president and it's about to come Someone should be , if I was running for president A , to be gays involved for looks , for looks and aesthetics and what things should be like when you get where the flags should be . Trump for sure has gays working for him .
That is for sure , because his stuff is set up nice and he and something I will tell you also , donald Trump would one of the worst . We have to talk about this , one of the worst things that I do doing comedy . Besides travel , travel is number one in the worst part of doing comedy .
When you do a photo shoot for pictures , for promos , you know you get in front of a photographer and you got to start hey , give me this , give me that , change outfit , give me this , give me that so they can do promo posters and all that stuff .
And Trump , when he did that picture for his jail picture , whatever that , not the jail picture , the mugshot killed it . Leo directs me . Leo , this is gay . No , hey , look back , look forward , look away , look to the camera , look there , someone gave it to Trump and he looks just like James Dean in it . Oh don't tell me no .
Don't you both tell me no , someone told him what to do . There's no way he he just hit it like that .
There is no way that there is a gay dressing .
For sure there's gays working on Trump's campaign . Nikki Haley needs to make sure she gets some on hers because she's repeating outfits . Are you guys ready for this ? Are you guys ready for this ? Ready , ready , one , two . And how do we do this for the camera ? We'll pull it up . So here's down Trump's mugshot .
How did it end ?
And here's James Dean .
Oh my .
Someone told him what to do ?
Do you know that ? Like , if you told us to Trump , he would have you like , he would have you posted this , he would like retweet it .
No , but it was just something that was so obvious to me I'm very good at . Whenever I watch TV with Leo , I see somebody say that's who he looks like , and he's like oh my God , you're right . Yes , he did that . It's really true . Did you see that picture ?
Yeah , but James Dean .
But you're like I can do this with my mouth , yeah . I don't look like Elvis . He's doing like the same . It's the it's , so is he attractive .
That was the worst comparison of anything that could have ever been that you could have come up with . For that picture to happen , for that picture to happen down on Trump , first of all you need to . That's a picture where you have to look away and then look up and hit the camera like this . That takes effort , it doesn't just happen .
Can you do it and the camera no . I kind of did it now , you know , when Leo owned a photo studio when he had models . When they hire the models , the reason they hire certain models is because there's no angle that's bad for them .
Whenever that camera goes off , they look amazing , no matter if the picture is not something with the clothing is off , but the face is one thing they never have to worry about . He taught me that . He said that down , trump looks like ass in a million different pictures , but this picture he nailed . Someone directed that picture .
There's no way that just happened .
I'm buying it . I'm really thinking about .
Well , and the other thing that I was saying so if you're running for president , you need to have gaze , yes , to make sure things look good , yes , and you need to have comedians . Someone should be on your thing to make sure there's a joke comes out . Hey , nikki Haley speaking . Let me hear the joke of the day from her . Hey , this one speaking .
Something from them , something funny you gotta hit them with , and it may be Nikki Haley's on that now , like , oh , we gotta bring comedy into this election .
I think that you're onto something here .
And be nice to the Jews and be nice to the Jews . Let me tell you something Anybody running for president , if you look at history , hire historians , if you're gonna be president , and look what things have gone wrong and other in the world in history and whenever you kill and hurt the Jews , it never works out for you .
It doesn't work out for you , is this no ?
No , no , no .
Engineer , the only guy that's not Jewish in the room . Do you agree or no ?
Wolf , do you agree that you should be kind to the Jews ?
Should be kind to everybody . Should be kind to everybody . But let me rephrase that Be kind to everybody , but don't extra crap on the Jews , because it never works out well .
Listen , I don't think- .
Wait , wait what . Yeah , no it never works out well . It never works out well . It never works out well for you .
It's like a complicated topic because , like Kanye West is experiencing this , you know , and because he can't get bookings , he's just complaining he can't get booked at arenas . He just sold out at arenas in Chicago but he publicly said I can't get other bookings and because they're blackballing him .
But then , like the ironic joke of it all is , it feeds into their narrative that Jews run everything or control everything . So it's kind of like a joke , you know , Like it's like you don't say Jews control everything , but if you do , you're never working again , you know .
¶ Kanye West at the Grammys
I heard some crazy gossip . That not gossip . I heard of something that happened at the Grammys with Kanye that no one knows about . He said something bad to somebody who's Jewish wearing a Yamaha , and that person beat him up and then they asked should we call the police ? Because no , no , no , don't call anybody . He wanted to Tanaka . This could be all .
This is my podcast . I can say whatever the hell I want to say , and this is something someone fed me , so- how many degrees of separation ? It's a very very good source .
Yeah , yeah , I assumed it was .
I would never just throw this out .
Listen , I have to tell you that what are you doing right now ?
What are you ?
what is ?
it . What is your body ? What is this ?
She got excited . She doesn't know . No , no , I'm actually- .
Justin , her Jewel , she's doing a I am very upset about Kanye West because I loved him so much and I listened to his music on loop forever . My 10-year-old loved him and it's really upsetting .
I . You know what . It's horrible everything he said . But you know , I listened to the Cat Williams podcast with- .
Oh , Cat is the best .
With who Club , shay Shay . I watched it . I thought it was going to catch a few . I watched all 36 hours of it Same thing . First of all , there's no bigger fan in the world of Cat Williams than me and me I . There is nothing I can watch over and over . They cook a little hit of weed and watch Cat Williams .
Leo says I've never seen you laugh so hard . I just cannot . He kills me . He's a genius and he's a little , I don't know . A little bit I'm not I don't want to say word a little bipolar II on this interview , engineer Manic for sure . Okay , I didn't want to say , but when he said , what are you ? He's not well , kanye West is not well .
What do you expect from a not well person ?
There are lots of people who are not well , who are not his Unwellness came out against Jews .
That's where his unwellness .
Well , it came out for matted against .
No , he could have also . He could be unwilling , also hate Jews at the same .
Yeah , I don't think .
I don't think mental . I think it's maybe in dismissive to mentally ill .
I bet it could be there are plenty of mentally ill people who aren't hurling like rabid anti summit , antisemitic remark .
He just did Bill Mards podcast and Bill Mards did a press release saying I'm not releasing it because I'm not gonna Be a part of this Kanye . Kanye is a variety of magazine . He did an interview when he did sit on a day .
He said I had to submit isn't a new , a new brand my , my , my , my bag is Gucci and my shoes are Kanye .
Kanye wait are you sure ?
Wait , so Bill Mardin .
He's publicizing . He's like wow . He doesn't want to be a part of this home Misha gas yeah . I mean , like Mel Gibson drinks , and being drunk doesn't make you anti-semitic , you know , that's where it comes out , but , but , but drinking .
And then Mel Gibson is anti-semitic , and when you drink , sheenich nasiain yotsesod , when wine comes in , out comes the , the secrets . So when he drinks . When ? Because he's in Hebrew .

When you're drunk , your secrets come out . Mel Gibson , when he gets drunk , the fact that he's a big anti-semite comes out . Kanye is mentally not well .

Taylor's a very hard word people call tail your Williamson .
People have .
Taylor , taylor , taylor .
Taylor , you know my Hebrew name .
What's your Hebrew name ?
I think it's kind of hacky , like I got it like later in life , because my mom was like trying to get me more Jewish when I was like like eight or nine .
You got your Hebrew name later in life . I've like get it at birth . I would you want from me .
I'm being honest and you're attacking me .
I love it not attacking at all .
I'm being vulnerable and I get a shame . You feel attacked all the time .
Yeah , I'm here completely . Why you keep looking at your jewelry ? Are you filming a sales commercial ? What are you doing over there ? I've never seen she's seen like this and she's I can't understand you through you throwing me off , completely distracted . She's sitting here with this little , this movement I've never seen before . A hundred episodes .
I've never seen her do this . What's wrong with you ?
I got this .
What the hell is that ?
It's a bracelet that goes into Thank you . Never see anything like that .
It's beautiful . You've never seen that before the whole veil no okay , I'm sorry , where were we before ?
I ?
was gonna take my Hebrew name he knew her name , but but no , I was saying .
I didn't say I was there , you , you , what , when we were ?
32 .
You know , I know , because , yeah , because I'm silly guy because if you , if it was true , you would have done your regular Taylor Williams , I was , I was , I was , I was 32 years old . So that's a little late , some slow , late circumcision .
I said it too confidently .
Yeah , so hold on . Why'd you get your Hebrew name later ?
I just I didn't get it when I was I don't know and what is it you ?
know like . So you Jewish boys get their Hebrew name at the bris I didn't , mother and the father at the circumcision . The mother and the father do not discuss with anybody else what the name is Gonna be .
And at the brist they say and his name will be known amongst the Israelites as and then they say Avram Ben Yoseph , the Avram , the son of Joseph , the father's name , right , there are amazing videos where they they Mentioned that the name of the kid and , like a mother-in-law or a grandmother's freaks that are you crazy ? Maybe him after that ?
You better not my god , that's not his name .
They make a whole freak out .
There's YouTube videos of this amazing that , but that's when you get your Hebrew name . So what ? Why'd you get yours much later ?
My parents got divorced and I like , oh wait , but they , my dad wasn't religious , my mom was a religious and then , I think later on , my mom wanted to make me more Jewish and what was your Hebrew name ? So the rabbi goes it was like a reform synagogue and he goes tal or Tal , or tal , tall , tall , that's your first name and your middle name .
I don't know tal my name's . Taylor , but tal or that's beautiful , but it's nice , it is real people may find me and because it's a girl's name .
No , it's not . No , it's not . That's what it all goes either way , but I was told to girls name anyways . It told you wrong . Who told you ? This bunch of the military people on my bus ?

Yeah , like you might not even be speaking Hebrew , but I believe everything you say .
I just made that up . I have no idea . Is that true In ?
the Jewish religion , if you say things confidently and throw in Hebrew and say the verb in Hebrew , people just think you just yep , absolutely , Moshe was Hailech , he was going , Moshe was going to . Now it makes you sound like you know , like it's so insane .
Or you can just say anything like like you're quoting from the , from some kind of text , and just people but but you're . I've never seen you say like this before .
What do you mean ? Because you know , like , because I'm usually not sitting across from you , I'm usually sitting next to you and Leo's sitting Right , but you also .
I've never looked at your hands like this .
Well , because , you made me so paranoid . Before we did the 92nd Street Y interview , he sent me a video of an interview . Don't mention who that was . And he said and for those of you who are listening , I am crouched down in my seat . This was the posture of the he goes . Don't sit like this .

I can , it's such a good bit and I'm just like I was so blown away that it came to me . I was just doing it . I called everybody just to do the bit on the phone with them .
It was just , I'm not gonna blow it on this podcast .
¶ Observational Comedy and Jewish Names
That's observational comedy , ladies and gentlemen , that's what observational comedy was , Anyway .
Oh , I feel like I thought of a new joke . Oh , I found I haven't worked out the joke yet , but I there was a girl on the subway on my way here who had like a baby stroller . You know how they have like dogs in that yes . And I look over and I'm like I'm sorry , I'm gonna curse . I was like is that a fucking rabbit ? in that thing .
I'm like there's no way , like I'm seeing , like an ear or something , and I look over and this girl has two rabbits yeah , in a baby stroller on the subway .
When you fly the amount of times I fly during the year you now understand that these new emotional support animals , rabbits , are in the rotation . You've been seeing rabbits . We were in first class . No , I look over and this woman who looked unwell . She looked unwell .
She was wearing an old , like Chanel shirt , but like I could tell by the buttons , but it's like it was like it was time to retire it , and she was wearing a Bulgari watch . She had an and a rabbit and I was watching her and the rabbit sat on her lap and she played with it the whole time .
Come on , stop Not well .
She was not well .
How old was she ?
She was , I would say , 50 , no , late 50s , maybe early 60s . Was it in a cage ? It began in a Sherpa bag , which you never know what that is . It's the bag that has like the holes all around it , ew . And she sat there with the rabbit . Was it like one of these giant rabbits ? It was a regular size rabbit . It fit completely perfectly and on her lap .
First of all , there's things shit like every 12 minutes .
That's what I was wondering . A cat and a doll you can train . Can you train a rabbit ? No , not the poop and cock and everywhere no .
I wonder the have you seen these rabbits ? That are huge . I'm obsessed with those .
I haven't seen a huge rabbit .
There's like rabbits that are bigger than you imagine .

Those listening to us . When you say thank you very much for your podcast , sometimes it just helps me numb my head . This is one of those podcasts where you're numbing your head when not hitting anything specific . This is important , though . Oh my God , that's the biggest rabbit I've ever saw in my life .
I think it'd be like 20 pounds . Oh my God .
Wait , I'm going to find out Now that we're here with . Well , last episode was with Taylor Williamson . You said I can't see your name .

Is that the same ? Guy who got your Jew jacket Tal , tal Tal .
Tal Tal . Tal Tal is a beautiful name and you should , by the way , name is very strong .
But it's I'm you're helping . I'm really grateful for this , but it's not hacky to have your Jewish name be so similar to your normal name . No , it's not at all .

You change your name , you change your luck too . You know Adin Stein salts . Adin Stein salts you guys don't know who that is .
He was one of the first people that translated the Talmud genius . He was very depressed . His name is Stein salts , which is a rock of salt , and the Rebbe , the Babut Sherebi , told him today his name to Simcha , which , again , I think this is a true story , but it's not .
